security council expressed their deep concern that to military activity. here tripoli which risks libyan stability he called on any forces to halt all military movement. and they also called on all forces to deescalate and halt military activity that can be no military solution to the conflict. as government backed militias deployed to defend the capital tripoli the risk of an escalation to all out civil war remains alarmingly high. it's a risk that's also on the minds of the g. seven foreign minister who ministers who are holding talks in france right now so for more let's cross to our correspondent byrne record who's standing by in denial . how is the situation in libya seen among the foreign ministers being do the german foreign minister said all the g seven members of course very

very about the situation in libya they all parties that to hold every military action and they singled out of cause the generals have to and his militias . who are dancing on the capital. and all that say that has to stop and the italian foreign minister in somebody an easy call to general huffed and he spoke with him on the phone and he said he no one seem to consider just to hold his military actions but it is clear that you g seven has no direct pressure to exert on this militia in libya. so what exactly makes them think that the libyan warlord will listen to them at all. but the g seven issued a statement saying that they're going to need no use all those diplomatic channels

they have to influence what they can influence in libya of course they have some economic interests also involved because many european states like france and italy have oil companies working in libya. connections to some of the fractions of the militias and they also connections to the. recognized international government in tripoli so they want to talk actually there's no military action in the making no military invention from the jews haven't so far and that will not happen even the americans said we won't do that and this is a point that the g seven was very united the minister said does the international community have any leverage whatsoever to lend weight to its demands. well not really actually have to be frank really leverages can just watch it the united nations is trying to hold the political talks to to. buttress the political
